Without dust or straw … for the moment. This concludes the most important case of animal abuse recorded in the country against Gonzalo García, leader of the dairy and sole defendant in the cruel murder of calves to the point of hammering and lethal injections. Despite the acquittal, the prosecution did not rule out recourse to a higher court.
Unanimous. The first chamber of the Oral Criminal Court of Osorno decided to acquit the office of the New Zealand company Manuka, Gonzalo García, the only one accused of the cruel mbadacre of 1,500 calves, who were later acquitted of charges of animal abuse.
It should be noted that the Public Prosecutor's Office asked García for a 3-year sentence of imprisonment and a fine of 20 UTM (approximately $ 963,200).
According to the local newspaper of Radio Sago his lawyer, Rodrigo Tejos, was satisfied with the decision of the judges. "This verdict confirms what has been upheld since we took his defense, so that Gonzalo García does not participate in the events attributed to him."
"Gonzalo García does not appear in any video or photo of the facts denounced, I think it was a mistake, as we always believe," said Tejos, ignoring the facts. "We do not understand why he formalized the investigation in 2018, without any evidence" said the lawyer.

The Manuka Affair
Up to now, Manuka 's case had not had much impact in Santiago, but many in the southern parts of the country, due to a video circulating on social networks where it was shown. how a worker of this dairy woman hits the head of a newborn calf with a tool.It was not an isolated event, but s of a practice that was actually practiced in this society.
The New Zealand capital company sacrificed male calves on the badumption that its business is to produce milk, not meat. and, therefore, at birth, they were cruelly killed by pounding or providing injections of air or burned oil.
The case also has a policy advantage, with respect to Minister Walker's inadequate proximity to Manuka.
